Pros

Free food when working 50% off when not working Fresh ingredients

Cons

They trained me for three days then expected me to be as fast as everyone else who had been there for a year or more. Then let me go after two weeks without any warning, when the day before the manager had told me I was doing a great job.

Pros

Food with Integrity. The company supports many great community events, has a wonderful mission, Cultivate Foundation and much more. The values.

Cons

From a sustainability standpoint, LOTS of daily food waste to obtain the "perfect" cut sizes. Why not compost or donate? Especially thinking of the lettuce, peppers and onion waste. I was faced with a painfully immature management team that was unable to motivate, encourage or appreciate a diverse staff. The days were either consumed by stress, conflict, goofing off or being inappropriate. Rarely had fun, good days. Inconsistency. Promotions happened prematurely and were given to people who "really wanted" the job but couldn't actually perform the functions of being a business leader. Management lacking people skills, basic communication and the ability to problem solve. Speed in food prep does not mean an employee will be a great leader. Stop promoting people just because they show up to work! Pay a little more to attract real talent.
